Fine Interiors Tuesday 11 September 2018




It gives me great pleasure to introduce Sworders’ autumn auction season, commencing with this fascinating sale. We were delighted to welcome HRH Princess Michael of Kent in April to introduce our auction of the contents of North Mymms Park; we now welcome ‘Pop Royalty’ with entries from Sir Rod Stewart in this auction. Lot 260, the cold-painted spelter banjo player is my particular favourite, reminding me, as it does, of the evocative playing on Rod’s 1971 classic, ‘Mandolin Wind’, which unfortunately I am old enough to remember being released. We also have 25 lots from the estate of the former Governor of the Bank of England, Eddie George, and his late wife Vanessa. When Lord George retired from the Bank, he moved to a magical Cornish manor house, and devoted himself to the restoration of the house and gardens. The auction begins with 122 lots of books and manuscripts, including a collection of letters by the Duke of Wellington, Edward Elgar, Henry Moore, Felix Mendelssohn, Florence Nightingale and Oscar Wilde amongst others. From Derbyshire, we have the Gordon Bramah collection of walking sticks. From Geneva, a small, but fascinating, collection of antiquities. We also have choice pieces remaining from the estate of Annabelle Comery. I hope you will enjoy looking through this catalogue and look forward to welcoming you to the Auction Room during the viewing and auction period.

70 Lot 70 Duke of Wellington- Autograph Letter, Signed: 4pp, 4to. ‘London Dec. 4, 1832, My dear Sir, I received your letter & am much obliged by the confidence you repose in me. It is impossible for any man to form a just opinion of what will be the result of the measures of the two last years. However it is my opinion that such a democratic influence has been established over the legislature, as to render the ordinary operations to government difficult, & the protection of the institutions of the country & its property by the government as nearly impracticable, and as such must change its policy domestic as well as foreign, I confess that I should not be surprised, indeed I expect, that the colonies will be separated from the mother country as the first consequence of the general weakness which must result from what has been done. Your profession in Ireland has suffered much already- it will, I fear, suffer much more.

Gordon Bramah (1930-2017) Gordon was born in Sheffield and lived there all his adult life, although his business interests in engineering took him to Australia and the United States. An interest in collecting fine antiquities began in 1983 after a trip to his tailor in Savile Row, where his attention was drawn to a window display of unusual small silver objects in the store of Gerald Sattin in Burlington Arcade. What began as a curiosity, developed into a passionate hobby and an extensive collection of around eight-hundred finely-crafted and unusual items in silver from the Georgian and Victorian eras. Over time, his knowledge and appreciation developed and he became highly selective of the condition, maker, provenance and rarity of an item added to his collection. Consequently, he spent considerable time at antique fairs, auction houses and specialist sales. It was on one of his many trips that his interest in novel canes and walking sticks began. With a background in engineering and metalwork, he was enthralled by the detailed design and ingenuity that was required to produce an item of quality at the same time as providing a practical solution within.

It was not just commerce and migration that spread along this route during this period, but also Buddhism and Islam. In Gandhara, the rapid expansion of Buddhism in the 1st-5th Century meant that stucco decoration replaced the traditional stone sculpture, as it was more economic and quicker to produce.

Lots 292 to 317 Selected Contents from the Estate of Lord Edward George (1938-2009) and Lady Vanessa George (d.2017)

The peace, tranquillity and charm of Tremeer and its gardens captivated Eddie and Vanessa George from the beginning. They purchased the house in 1998 and, as they looked forward to retiring from a busy life in the City of London, they put their energies into restoring it and, in particular, returning the grounds to their former glory. They delighted in researching and retaining the history of the property, whilst creating a cosy, welcoming and friendly home, to be filled with friends and family. The Manor House itself dates from well before the 16th century and over the years hosted many notable visitors, including the Quaker leader, George Fox, and the physician to Charles II, Dr Richard Lower – who reportedly carried out the first blood transfusion on pigs within the cellars!

Lord Edward and Lady Vanessa George However, it was the gardens that Lord and Lady George truly enjoyed: their blowsy show of rhododendrons, camellias and magnolias during the spring. Originally created by General Eric Harrison together with his wife, Rosa Stevenson, in the 1940s, they collected some rare and notable trees and shrubs. Shortly after moving into Tremeer, Edward George, former Governor of the Bank of England, was honoured to be invested as Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and one of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council. He took the title of The Lord George of St. Tudy. The house was filled with interesting keepsakes collected during Eddie and Vanessa’s lifetime, as well as many original gifts presented by colleagues and friends from across the world. Sadly, Edward and Vanessa’s time at Tremeer was not as long as might have been hoped for and, as the mantle of care for a much-loved home passes into new hands, we are delighted to offer some of the contents and treasures for sale.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty. Attibuted to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750. All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing. Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right? Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more. This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale. How are resale royalties calculated? The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. Hammer Price

Royalty

From 0 to €50,000

4%

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

3%

From €200,000.01 to €350,000

1%

From €350,000.01 to €500,000

0.5%

Exceeding €500,000

0.25%

What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

www.sworder.co.uk

What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs. Are all sales of artwork covered? The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met: • the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; • it is sold for more than €1000; • it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); • and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA). This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.
